    Hi, Tasinsure 

     

    Thanks for providing the requested screenshot.

     

    You can exempt a wage category from being included in entitlements from within the entitlement -Payroll > Payroll Categories > Entitlements > Select the Entitlement. There is an exempt button on screen if you select that and tick the relevant wage category it will be exempt from being included. If a category is unticked it will be included in the entitlement calculations.


    In your post, you mentioned that you were getting the error EntitlementPayrollCategory_ExemptionsNotHourlyWages when completing that process. If that message does appear do the following:

    1. Click the Equals "Hours per pay period" option
    2. After that has been selected, click the "Equals % per of x hours" option before selecting OK.
      You may have to re-enter the percentage for "Equals % per for x hours".

    Once that has been clicked and then back again before selecting OK you should be able to select the relevant category to be exempt.

     

    Please let us know how it goes.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

Hi Doreen

 

Thanks for your assistance, screenshot attached. Overtime is set up as hourly so I don't know what the problem is.
